“Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.”
Jeremiah 48:15 (BSB)
Context Reading
13Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel. 14How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’? 15Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts. 16Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly. 17Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered — the glorious staff!
